Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
- 1 tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
- ½ tsp (3g) salt
- 1 can (14.75 oz / 418g) cream-style sweet corn, undrained
- 1 can (15.25 oz / 432g) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 large (50g) egg, beaten
- ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In a larger bowl, combine the undrained cream-style corn and the beaten egg.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just blended; do not overmix.
- Fold in the drained whole kernel corn for added texture.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.
- Drop the batter by ⅛ cupfuls into the hot oil and fry for 2–3 minutes per side until they reach a deep mahogany-colored gold.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and place them immediately on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
